First editions of works by Lawrence; fine-press, limited-edition publications by the Whittington Press, the Fleece Press, and the Castle Hill Press; and books from the libraries of Jeremy Wilson, Peter Enders, and Peter Danby-Smith.

Joseph Banks: A Lincolnshire Botanist in Australia
250 years ago Captain James Cook and his crew – among them the Lincolnshire botanist Joseph Banks – became the first Europeans to set foot on the eastern coast of Australia. Joseph Banks’ botanical discoveries – some 1,300 previously unknown botanical species – revolutionised European understanding of natural history. The ten prints presented in this catalogue show the rich foliage, colourful flowers, and diverse species that Banks discovered as the Endeavour traversed the globe. * * * To see the online exhibition, our video gallery talks, and access further resources on Joseph Banks and his Florilegium, please visit our website: https://www.typeandforme.com/index.php/2020/07/01/joseph-banks-florilegium-exhibition/
